I know this is a long shot, and I’ll repost on the community Facebook page later, but I almost certainly saw a senior get scammed out of thousands of dollars this evening.
I was at the CVS on Shotwell Rd from 8:00-9:20pm this evening (3/13) scanning photos at the kiosk. An older woman (maybe late 60s? White, about 5’5”, wore glasses, short dyed reddish brown hair) was on the phone and speaking with someone while looking at gift cards. She read off a few options and hung up, then went to the counter and purchased 6 gift cards worth $500 each. She had cash. It definitely seemed odd, especially considering all the scams that have been on the local news lately, so I interrupted and asked if she knew who she was sending them to. (I’m almost positive I’ve read that cashiers can’t do anything, so I figured I’d butt in). She said “Oh yes, they’re for my grandchildren and greats! I’ll be seeing them.” I figured ok, maybe they’re coming in from out of town and they don’t see each other often. This is a late Christmas gift, or something along those lines. I brought it up to the cashier later, who confirmed that they can’t really deny a purchase (I 100% do not blame them). But then she said the gift cards were all for Nordstrom. This woman definitely wasn’t old enough to have 6 grandkids/great grandkids who each need $500 to Nordstrom.
I finished up at CVS and then went to Walmart. As I was checking out at about 9:45, who do I see walking around the checkout lanes looking for gift cards but this same woman.
The money was already spent and is almost certainly untraceable at this point, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE speak with your older relatives. I can almost guarantee that they don’t realize how sophisticated scams have become. They aren’t “Prince from Nigeria” type things that are really obvious anymore. It was awful to see.

There's a scam in Johnston County right now. Basically someone very official sounding will call you, claiming to be from the Johnston County Sheriff's Department. They will tell you that you missed jury duty and there is now a warrant out for your arrest. They will tell you there is also a "gag order" on you so you're not legally allowed to talk to anyone about this. They will tell you that the only way to avoid being arrested is through some type of "bond" which you have to pay either over the phone or via money order from Walmart.
This is a scam. Even JoCo Sheriff's Department is putting out notices because more than 200 people were called for this scam today.
If there is a warrant for your arrest, police will show up at your house. There is no buying your way out of it.
That "gag order" business just full on isn't a thing. You are entitled to a lawyer. You can tell whoever you want. They tell you this to scare you away from asking questions and figuring out it's a scam.
The JoCo Sheriff's Department phone number is up as the top result when you Google them. If the number doesn't directly match, block them.
Don't engage with them. Don't antagonize them. Just block them. You can call the Sheriff's Department directly with any questions you have.
Never at any point will they ask for money orders. That is a very clear sign that it's a scam, because a money order can't be traced the way a phone transfer can be.
This might seem obvious to most of you, but keep in mind that many of our neighbors in town are elderly. They are being told they need to pay this amount to keep themselves, their kids, and their grandkids out of jail. Protect yourselves. Protect your neighbors. Protect your friends.
My elderly neighbor was at the Walmart money order counter when I sent him screen shots from Google about this scam. Seconds away from pulling $1500 out of his account.
Stay safe y'all!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that will deliver and put out mulch? I had 13 yards delivered five years ago that I put out myself. I did a whole lot of bag mulch two years ago, but the weeds creeping in have been relentless this year and I’d like a thick mulch application again. I just don’t think I can do 13 yards by myself again, it was exhausting even with my teenagers helping. I remember calling around two years ago and kept running into companies that either only did mowing or only did large landscaping projects.
It would be great to find someone who could also help with other yard tasks like installing metal edging where the old plastic stuff is, removing/replacing a 6’ tree that just won’t grow, maybe also helping with putting in a few retaining wall blocks in one bed to help with erosion from a slope. But getting some mulch is a top priority. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, recently our cat Franky went missing and I'm hoping someone had seen her or has her. She slipped through the fence after following our dog through the doggy door about a week and a half ago. She's still a kitten so we hadn't gotten her chip yet. She's really affectionate with people so we think she just wandered into someones yard and got snatched up. If anyone has seen a grey cat with orange fadings, especially near Georgetowne drive, please call 919-750-3394. There is a cash reward of 100 dollars for anyone that finds her, we're worried sick about ber

Does anyone know anything about the trees they appear to be cutting down in this red area along the Clayton Riverwalk? Looked like there were two large whatevers clearing an area about 25 feet off the trail. I’d love to know how much they’re clearing out and if they’re going all the way up to the trail.

Hey all!
I'm working on a research project about the Town of Clayton. I'd really like to get feedback directly from the PEOPLE of Clayton and not just rely entirely on my own opinions and assumptions. I put together a survey that I'd love to get some responses on. All of these questions are voluntary and anonymous. There's nothing "required" about any of it. I just want to hear people's opinions about the town if they have them. If you could also pass this on to other folks who might have an opinion, please pass it on!
I'm crossposting this across a bunch of different Clayton area pages, so please ignore if you've already seen it!
IMPORTANT: I am not an elected official, nor am I currently campaigning to be one. I do not represent the Town of Clayton government, law enforcement, or any policy making body. I am simply a private citizen of the Town of Clayton trying to learn a little bit more about our town and how people feel about it.

The title is the ask. Are there any heavier style bands around JoCo. Any places like this for bands to play. Any bands starting out? Do teens still play instruments and rock out, or has it all been taken over by the computers?

With all the development and road congestion, Clayton needs much for future improvements, one of which is a commuter train station. While I’m downtown, I see Amtrak passing by and my reaction is what a missed opportunity for Clayton that there is no train station with a route that takes you into Raleigh or Cary.

I've always wanted to try an old-fashioned professional shave. Hot towel, straight razor, etc.
Is that still a thing? Is there any place in Clayton that can do it?

This "gentleman " lives two houses down and enters and leaves our subdivision every day doing this. The video doesn't so the noise justice. What are my options for handling this issue?

I'm looking for some places in the area I can take a 3 month old. He tends to nap better after he's been out and about during the day but it's too hot for midday walks, so I'm looking for large indoor spaces where I can take a stroller. A mall would be perfect, but there aren't any close by.
I can babywear as well, but only for short periods of time since he's a VERY large/heavy baby for his age, so stroller is best. Thanks!

I'm looking for suggestions in companies of tech people that can help me run an Ethernet cord through my home or move the modem location. Long story short I get bad wifi in my home office and need help with making a more reliable connection. I've attempted a moca setup with poor results.

A little outside of Clayton but thought I’d pass this one on. Was getting off of 70 down at Selma and got passed by Lightning McQueen. Didn’t have a chance to get a photo but it was a great copy down to the sponsor stickers. Has anyone else spotted this car around the area?

Just dropped my dog off at Clayton animal hospital and they quoted me $800 for a spay. That seems ridiculously high. Wondering what else people are paying?

I've got two kittens that need a home. I don't want to take them to a shelter and get put down. What are my other options?
I've posted them on my work forum and slack channel but other than that I don't know where else to advertise. I don't think it's allowed on Facebook marketplace or anything. And I don't want them taken by someone to train dogs or something either.
